• Marriage System
In the old custom of marriage,
the clan system (dadia) and caste
system (wangsa) were
determined. Marriage as far as
possible is carried out between
people of the same clan or at
least between people who are
believed to be equal in caste.
This is claimed to be Indogamy.

contain rules about building

The economic system in
Balinese society is based on

fisheries, and tourism. Economic
development in Bali is
attempted to empower existing
natural resources.
• Religious System
In Bali 95% of the population
adheres to the Hindu Dharma
religion, while 5% adheres to
Islam, Christianity, Catholicism,
Buddhism and Confucianism.
The purpose of life in Hinduism
is to achieve balance and inner
and outer peace. In an effort to
achieve that goal.
B. Caste System in Bali
Balinese caste is a system that
is closely related to Hinduism in
everything from believers to
those related to the gift of God,
inherited, sturdy and binding,
difficult to change, because it is
considered. The caste system
divides entire Hindu society into
endogamy groups with genetic
affiliations that simultaneously
separate and connect people
with three characteristics.
Separation is related to marriage
and contact. The division of
labor of each group represents a
particular profession and the
scale that divides the group into
 high castes and lower castes
(Eriksen 1998: 242).
As a location or social
classification based on ancestry,
the Balinese caste is divided into
four castes: Brahmin, Knight,
Vesya, and Sudra. When the
brahmin caste is associated with
the priesthood and occupies the
highest position in the caste
structure. Knight caste refers to
those who work as servants of
the state or kingdom and
descendants of a king. Waisya
caste is the same as caste in
trade, entrepreneurs/
entrepreneurs, and craftsmen. In
this case the Sudra caste is a
laborer or peasant, has no
ownership and is the lowest
caste (Karepun 2007: 6).
Balinese castes are divided
into four castes, Brahmins,
Knights, Vesyas, and Sudra, as
ancestral locations or social
classifications. When the
Brahmin caste is associated with
the priesthood and occupies the
highest position in the caste
structure. Caste knights refer to
7 | R e c o g n i ti o n o f W o n d e r f u l B a l i C u l t u r e a n d T h e

those who work as servants of
the state or kingdom and of the
descendants of a king. Waisya
caste is the same as caste related
to trade, entrepreneurs /
entrepreneurs and craftsmen. In
this case, the Sudra caste is the
lowest caste, laborer or peasant,
without property (Karepun
2007: 6).
In the Vedic scriptures, the
term caste is unknown, but has
color. In the Bhagavad Gita, the
term Varna Chess is used. In
other words, it is the division of
society according to the field of
self-sufficiency (profession) or
their respective jobs. There is a
Wansa system in life in Bali,
which is a family system based
on genealogy. The use of this
term became a problem for
Balinese people when the
concept of caste was used to
understand the concept of color
in Hindu society. It was
introduced by Europeans during
the colonial era. The names used
in color chess (Brahmin, Knight,
Wesha, Sudra) have been
changed according to caste,
including titles. Ironically, the
 title is passed down from celebrations including many
generation to generation, special foods prepared as

("Sudrakaya") tend to ignore it. most Hindus, beef is never or
rarely consumed.

mobile stalls are called kaki

Sweet offerings include pisang

well as cool drinks and coffee.

The low level of
awareness is also one of the
factors that exacerbates this
condition. Even the island of
Bali cannot avoid the waste

declared a 'garbage emergency'
status because the piles of
garbage on the beach continue to
increase from time to time.
As one of the most popular
tourist destinations in the world,
Bali should be a comfortable
place for tourists to vacation and
relax with beautiful and amazing
beach views. However, the
beauty of the island of Bali now

Balinese culture has a lot of history

buildings , the history of the
religion they follow , and so on .
Balinese culture also has various
levels of their caste, the caste is a
system that is closely related to
Hinduism. Not only that, Bali,
